  • Publication number: 20060256410
    Abstract: It is intended to provide a picture editor which displays the color pictorial data matching designated pictorial information, according to pictorial information code of the analyzed color pictorial data of a plurality of color pictures added to the color pictorial data, picks out and displays the color pictorial data matching designated pictorial information. For this purpose, the information code of each pictorial information on brightness, saturation, and hue of the color pictorial data, which is analyzed, digitized, and averaged in a pictorial data analyzing unit, is added to the color pictorial data in a retrieval information adding unit. According to the color pictorial data to which the information code is added, a retrieving unit picks out the color pictorial data matching designated pictorial information. A video monitor displays the retrieved color pictorial data.

  • Patent number: 7027600
    Abstract: The audio signal processing device of the present invention arranges objects in a virtual three-dimensional space and generates audio signals by performing, at a prescribed listening position, audio simulation to sounds generated from a prescribed sounding position. This invention is characterized in that the sound field space subject to audio simulation is structured by combining spatial objects and audio simulation is performed thereto. Here, “spatial object” shall mean the space (sound field space) for audio simulation which was simply modeled in order to simplify audio simulation, and is a virtual object provided with prescribed audio parameters. The sound field space is structured by combining these spatial objects.

  • Patent number: 6821037
    Abstract: A setup application outputs a settings file in which are entered paper types and cutting modes. A print data generated by a design application is appended with data indicating a cutting mode appropriate to the print data and transmitted to a printer. Upon reception of the print data, the printer prints images on a recording paper based on the print data and cuts the recording paper in the cutting mode indicated by the appended data.

  • Patent number: 6457429
    Abstract: The display apparatus for a sewing machine of the invention includes a display that displays a stitch pattern thereon, and a sewing order indicator that indicates a sewing order of substantially an entire stitch pattern. Therefore, even when the operator selects, as a stitch pattern, a complex stitch pattern such as a buttonhole stitch pattern, the operator can easily judge if the stitch pattern being sewn is exactly what the operator has selected before the stitch pattern is finished.

  • Patent number: 6321670
    Abstract: In a sewing machine, a plurality of patterns are displayed on a pattern selection area of a display. Then, when one of the patterns displayed on the pattern selection area is selected, the selected pattern is displayed in a realistic manner on a pattern display area on the display. At this time, at least a part of the pattern display area is displayed while the pattern selection area is displayed. Therefore, the operator can see and grasp the pattern with a realistic image through the pattern display area while selecting the pattern.
